Lottie POV
As I materialised in Astaroth’s demonic dimension, a chill crept through my veins, sending shivers cascading down my spine. The very essence of the realm seemed to writhe and twist, morphing and contorting in a grotesque dance around me. Panic clawed at my chest, threatening to consume me whole, as I frantically searched for any semblance of escape.
“Charlotte!”
“Kitty!”
Amidst the chaos and the cacophony of unearthly sounds, two familiar voices pierced through the darkness, a beacon of hope amongst the despair. Their voices were quickly joined by the Sparrow Brother’s panicked cries.
“Save her!” I heard Chase scream, my heart pounding in my chest, a wild rhythm matching the chaos around me. My breaths came in ragged gasps as I spun around toward the cries to face the portal, the swirling vortex that seemed to pulse with malevolent energy. It mesmerised me with a force I couldn’t resist, pulling at the very core of my being.
“Sage!” I whispered, wanting her to fight for our freedom, knowing I wouldn’t be able to do it myself; the hold the demon had weaved into my mind was far too strong. But it was too late; I could sense her slowly fading into a soundproof cage buried somewhere in the depths of my mind where even our mate’s voices couldn’t reach her.
My eyes glued through the portal to where Havoc and Kane’s voices blended together in a symphony of fear and determination, their shouts mingling with the roar of the wind supporting the
portal. I could see the panic etched on their faces, their eyes wide with terror as they fought against the invisible barrier that kept them from reaching me.

Time seemed to slow to a crawl as I stared into the depths of the portal, my vision narrowing to focus solely on the two figures racing towards me. Kane’s rugged features were twisted in a mask of desperation, his usually stoic demeanour shattered by the fear of losing me. And Havoc, ever the loyal beast, his jaw set in determination as he pushed forward, ignoring the danger that lurked just beyond.
I wanted to reach out to them and tell them that everything would be alright, but the words caught in my throat, choked by the overwhelming sense of dread that washed over me. The demon’s laughter reverberated in my ears, a cruel reminder of the perilous situation we found ourselves in.
“Behave, and you can go back to them.” I heard Astaroth scoff into my mind like the sick fuck he was

“Make your choice!” Astaroth sneered brutally, as he stepped beside me holding his hand out for me to take. When I didn’t move, a sly grin slipped onto his lips as red lightning sparked from behind us and flew through the vortex and slammed into Kane. Undoubtedly Astaroth’s way of showing me he wasn’t making an idle threat.

“It’s ok!” I mouthed, seeing Kane register my words, his face paled, as Havoc pushed forward toward me, his decision made. With a surge of adrenaline, I made a split–second decision. I wouldn’t let my mates sacrifice themselves for me, I simply couldn’t bear the thought of them facing the same fate that awaited me on this side of the portal. With every ounce of strength I possessed, I turned away from them, my eyes fixed on the demonic bastard before me.
“No!” I heard Chase scream from behind me as I took a hesitant step forward, my heart pounding in my ears.

response to the ancient magic that held sway over this place. I could feel the pull of the abyss, a primal force that threatened to consume me whole as it closed behind
me separating me from those I loved.
“Our only hope now is that this demon scum will keep his word and return us unharmed.” I whispered to Sage before remembering she had been silenced by
“I never said unharmed.” He laughed bitterly, his eyes levelled on me with intent that had my stomach locked in fear.
“Whatever.” I whispered, but I refused to let him see me give in to despair as I looked back longingly at the portal hoping to see that Havoc or Kane had made it through in time and we would face whatever this shit was together.
My eyes widened in horror as everything changed. The portal began to shrink, collapsing in on itself with a deafening roar that drowned out the sounds of my friends‘ cries. Panic surged through me, a primal instinct urging me to flee, to escape before it was too late.
Reality dawned on me as I watched my mates on the other side of the closing portal, their faces racked with anguish and heartbreak that for some reason, I could no longer feel.
“This is a mistake.” I whispered, and from somewhere deep down I felt the strength I possessed return as I refused to back down.
“We should be together, always!” I challenged as hope returned to my core and with one final push, I hurled myself towards the portal, my body twisting and contorting as I fought against the inexorable pull of the abyss. And then, with a burst of blinding light, that knocked me to my feet and a ferocious roar, Swallowed whole by the darkness that awaited me in
his demonic realm.
it was gone!
“No!” I sobbed, but just as sorrow threatened to overwhelm me, a new presence emerged, a glimmer of light in the abyss. I sensed the familiar aura, the reassuring warmth of another, piggybacking on the demonic magic that bound me. With a surge of hope, I turned to look at the demon to see my steadfast ally, lunging through the darkness that had torn me from my world.
